What are common grounds for divorce in your state?
There are many reasons why people file for divorce. Often, a divorce will happen for a variety of reasons, including unreasonable behavior. It can also happen due to a change in the spouse's mental or emotional health. Understanding the most common reasons for divorce can help you make sense of the forces that have driven you apart.
The most common reasons for divorce are infidelity and financial issues. Abuse accounts for approximately 34% of divorces. Abuse is defined as any act of disrespect directed at the other party. Abuse can take many forms and may be verbal or physical. If abuse is continuous or frequent, it can result in separation.
While it's possible to divorce for any number of reasons, you must meet certain legal standards. To be granted a divorce, you must show that your marriage has broken down irretrievably. Different laws apply to each country. However, some reasons are recognized in most countries. For example, in North America, divorce laws are broken down into two categories: 'For-fault' and 'No-fault'. 'For-fault' divorces require that the other party has committed a major wrong against their spouse.
Infidelity is another common grounds for divorce. While this ground can be difficult to prove, it is still a viable option for those seeking to end their relationships. A spouse who has committed adultery is unlikely to receive alimony.
